Well, no they're not supposed to be tlhIngan-Hol. The language John M. Ford
uses is called Klingonaase and he made it up. Marc Okrand created tlhIngan
Hol *LONG* after the Final Reflection was printed. 2 creators; 2 languages.
They just happen to be spoken by the same group of individuals.

Inventing a handful of words for a book is *not* the same as inventing a language.
I'm not aware that John Ford did more than invent words he needed for his book.
Did he do more? Does anyone actually *know* if he did more or is this all
idle speculation.
